300 Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training Course In Goa

Through its 300-hour Ashtanga yoga teacher training program in India, Shree Hari Yoga offers students a variety of chances to advance their studies and grow their practice. The basic poses of Ashtanga yoga are thoroughly dissected in this course, including their physics and energies, the guidelines that govern the Ashtanga sequence of poses, and a close examination of each stance and transition.

The exercise routine promotes a strong foundation and a healthy balance between flexibility and strength. It employs a different primary technique than what we are accustomed to seeing.

Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga places a lot more internal focus on the practice. It is ideal for people who are hard pressed for time, want to intensify their yoga practice through a demanding retreat or are only interested in bettering their practice without necessarily intending to teach.

There is nothing like practicing balance exercises while the sun warms your body, doing Surya Namaskars, or sitting in meditation. At the same time, the sea breeze carries away any doubts, worries, or negativity. Nothing, in our opinion, better embodies freedom than being able to practice yoga outside of the studio while walking around barefoot on the beach. Anywhere you look, you can find this freedom and this state of yoga; however, something about the beach seems to nurture this idea to its full potential.

Come down to the beach, soak it all in, walk around, breathe, move around, express yourself, find your flow, and let your yoga practice be free.

About Ashtanga Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga is the yoga form, that traces its origins to K. Pattabhi Jois’ practice. The form encompasses eight limbs, among which asana is just one limb. The other limbs comprise Yama, Niyama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Pranayama. The ultimate destination is Salvation or Samadhi. Although the practice started with stress on asanas, Pranayama, and Meditation, later the other limbs also assumed importance. If you want to perfect asana and pranayama, it is important for you to spend adequate time on Yama and Niyama. Led Ashtanga Classes are led by a teacher. The second one is Mysore Style, in which the students can practice yoga on their own, without the need of a teacher. In the 300 Hour Ashtanga Yoga TTC, you will learn about the primary and intermediate series of asanas. The breathing patterns, your gaze or Drishti and then the pose or asana, assumes a lot of importance in Ashtanga Yoga.

Pranayama In Ashtanga Yoga

Pranayama is the fourth limb as per Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. In Ashtanga Yoga, Pranayama and chanting comes at the end of the yoga practice. When you will do the Padmasana at the end of the practice, you will practice Nadi Shodhana. You can add Kumbhaka to it, and practice it as well. In the realm of Ashtanga Yoga, you can do Rechaka Kumbhaka and Puraka Kumbhaka. Then, you can proceed with Nadi Shodhana, and then Bhastrika. Close the Pranayama series with Surya Bhedana and Chandra Bhedana. Finally, you can do the Sitali Pranayama. This is the way, the Jois family taught everyone.

Asana In Ashtanga Yoga

Asanas or poses are the third limb of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, which all Ashtanga practitioners follow. You will do the primary and intermediate series asanas, as a part of the course. The 300 Hour Yoga TTC in Ashtanga yoga is the vehicle, through which the body can reach a higher yogic realm. The Ashtanga Intermediate series is also called the second series. It is called Nadi Shodhana. The main focus of this series is the back bending asanas. The back bends ensure that your spine is supple and flexible. You will also do more hip openers and headstands in this form. You have to practice a long Shavasana for maximum impact.

Mantra

In Ashtanga Yoga classes, you will chant two mantras. One is chanted at the beginning of the class, whereas the second one is chanted at the end of the class. Moreover, you have to chant these mantras in Sanskrit. The first one is ‘Om Vande Gurunam charanaravinde’. And, the second one is ‘Om Swasthi-praja bhyam pari pala yantam’.

Art of Teaching

Your teacher will teach you the primary and intermediate series, when you have achieved prowess in the primary series.

Anatomy and Physiology

The knowledge of both anatomy and physiology are very important in the Ashtanga Yoga Class. You need to have proper mobility and range of motion, to practice the intermediate series. You have to move the spine more, in relation to the pelvis. The reason being that in the intermediate series, you have to bend the spine more, and also engage in deep twists. If you do not have proper knowledge of anatomy, then you will not be able to practice the intermediate series yourself, or teach it to the students.

Philosophy

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras assumes a lot of importance as part of the 300 Hour Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training. The Ashtanga philosophy is to integrate all the eight limbs of yoga. Although meditative practices were considered more important in the sutras, Pattabhi Jois tweaked the system a bit, and introduced asanas as important. He managed to connect the Yamas and Niyamas with the physical system.

Sound Healing

Sound healing in the form of mantras and chanting assume a lot of importance, in the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Sounds support the movements and your thoughts as well.

Mudras are also quite important in the asana practice. When you take on any pose, you can also use hand gestures and movements, to impact the nerve endings in your fingertips. The nerve endings in the fingers can send impulses towards the organs and brain.

Bandha

Bandhas are nothing but energy locks, that help in the proper direction of energy. They regulate the flow of breath through the body.
